HOT-AIR REGISTER.-

SPECIFICATION forming part. of Letters Patent No. 351,230, dated October 19x 1886 Application tiled April 28, 1886. Serial No. 200,394. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that l, JOHN WARREN, of Boston, inthe county ot'Suttolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Hot-Air Registers, of which the following, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification.

The object of my invention is the construction of a register having' a movable face-plate hinged to the frame above, and adapted to swing outwardly and be secured in this outward position, thus i'orining a rest for the feet or a support Vl'or articles which it may be desired to expose to a current of hot air.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a front elevation. Fig. 2 is a cross-section on line ma; of Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a side elevation. Fig. l is a vertical section on a line, yy, of Fig. l, and Fig. 5 is an under side view ofthe latch and part ot" the movable plate B.

The movable plate I), as shown in Figs. l and 4 of the drawings, is hinged at its upper end to the top ol' the stationary l'rame A, and has its edges groovcd to lit the inner edge of said stationary frame A, und has a projecting shelf, c, as shpwn in Fig. 5, and a hinged latch with a projecting hook, g, as shown in Fig. 5. Said latch has also one or more grooved arms, I), as shown in Fig. 5, which mesh with teeth d in said stationary frame A, as shown in Fig. il, and thereby reta-in said movable plate B in position at any desired angle. Said movable plate B has also side wings, C, as shownv in Figs. 3 and Ll, which extend back from said plate so as to l'orin an extension side when said plate is withdrawn from said stationary frame A. Said wings have curved bases and gradually diminish in width from. said bases to the top of said plate.

In connection with said hot-air register I make as a part Ot' my invention a device for opening and closing the dampers thereof, consisting ol' a knob, D, in slot E, as shown in Fig. l, forming a part of sliding rackf, which meshes with one or more segments of gear e, as shown in Fig. 2, attached to one end ot'said danipers. Said sliding rack is kept in position on the one side by said knob running in slot, and on the other side by widening the sides thereof in the intervals between the teeth, so that it is in contact with one or more permanent guides, k, attached to said stationary frame A, as shown in Fig. 2, and it is prevented by stud Z, as shown in Figi 2, from moving beyond a certain. point to one side.

In using this invention the operator presses down the projecting hook g, and releases the latch and pulls ont the movable plate B, which will remain fixed at any incline desired by means of appliances heretofore described. The degree of heat may be regulated by moving the knob D in slot E, as before described.

Vhat I claim isl. In a hot-air register, the combination, with the toothed frame A, of the faceplate B, provided with notched arms b, for the purposes and substantially as shown and described.

2. In a hot-air register, t-he combination of the frame A, having teeth al, with the movable face-plate B, provided with a latch having the hook y, and one or more notched arms, b, hinged to one end thereof, substantially as set forth.

3. In a hot-air register, the combination of the frame A with a tace-plate, B, pivoted at the upper end to said l'rame, and having side wings, C, tor the purposes and substantially as set forth.

4. In a hot-air register', the combination of the trame A with a movable faceplate, B, hinged at its upper end to said frame, aud provided with a stationary shelf, c, at the lower end thereof, for the purposes and substantially as set fort-h.

In testimony whereof l have signed my nameV to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, on this 26th day of April, A. D. 1886.

JOHN WARREN.
